Accident at ihe CuEel Mine.

An accident occurred at the Cupel mine
on Tuesday last, which but for fortunate
combination OF circumstances, might have
cost two or three men their lives. The
men who we're engaged in sinking the
main shaft, now down about l40 feet, had
just finished putting in anumber Of sbots /,
leaving one OF their number, Jim O'Brien
to touch them of, while the bucket had
been sent up TO the surface filed with
water, tools &c. In emptying the water
from the heavy iron bucket, one end of
which rested on the car over the shaft,
the car slipped backwards and the buck-
ct half full of water went down the shaft.
O'grien, who had already touched oftwto
OF the shots, heard the bucket coming,
and quick cs fash extinguished the
burning fuse, and squeezed himself into
as small space as possible in one corner
oil the shaft. In It's descent the heavy
bucket broke two or three iimDers loose,
and struck o'Brien on tie aeshy part o.
the right thigh. He was quickly taken
to the surface, where bis injuries were
attended TO. Beyond very severe bruise.
which will confne him TO his bed for a
week or two, O'Brien was unhart, although
suffering severely from the nervous shock.

One by one we yielded to the magnetic
Juror, and wondered in a shame faced
way at our willingness n short time be-
fore to believe in the defendants guilt.
1t was midnight when we reached a
verdict of not guilty. Fortunately, as it
was the last niglt'nf the term, the court
had remained in session hearing motions,
and was ready to receive our verdict.
Just as We sturtel to file out of the
jury room, old John Jenkins seized me
by the arm and whispered:
"Thar's thirteen jurors herer'
Nonsense, ~ l replied.
But it's the truth. Twelve of us

old FOOLS talk, and wanted TO get through
with the business.
The verdict surprised the Judge and the
bar, but SteinHay seemed to have antici-
pated it. He shuok hands al around, and
could not help noticing his sinister smile
and wicked eyes.
I'VE have made q great mistake"
muttered to myself, and n look at the
other jurors showed that they were of the
same way of thinking.
AS the discharged jurors went to the
rear of the court house for their horses,
''tN al iiilhtt'A ~ ~ SSp llJlIlCt

You shut ne up so, and l got so
bothered, that we didn't report that thir-

"Only twelve went Into the court room,n
I snapped.
"That's SO, but thar was thirteen in the
jury ROOM"
''I1l settle this" I said. 'sIIere are the
twelve here. We'ii see what they know
about it."
l told them of Jenkins discovery, and
all laughed heartily.
"NFho made us that good talk for Stein

the business? Did your and he touched
one of the party.
A negative reply was given, and one
after another we all stated that we had
no hand or part in the work Of defending
Steinway in the jury room. We had been
converted by the juror in the shadow.
Then, that man who is not here among
the twelve,'' said old Jenkins, was tile

'l3y Gcorgc!n shouted n rough farmer;
''old man Jenkins is right. The man that
did the talking i'll the jury room amt

An awed silence followed. 1t was not
apleasant mystery to think of at midnight.
How could it be explained?
1t never was explained. We all knew |
that some deviltry was at work among us
that night, but We never got to the bot
tom of it. S%teinway's disappearance i'm
mediately after the trial did not make the
matter any palmer to us, but we were
glad to get rid of him.-Wallace p. Reed

A "Reminiscences of Gen. jeff c. Davis.

Clark County Letter i'll Vevay Iievi lie.
One of the most enjoyable visits we have had
was visit to Miss Annie NJ. Davis, sister of
Gen. jeff. c. Davis, on the old farm where the
General was raised. She is one of the most in
telligent ladies it has been our good fortune to
meet and seemed insiinctively TO understand, at
first sight of u.s. that we had come to ask cues
tions, a great many of which she seemed to an
ticipate and answered exactly what we had in
just remember running out to meet her brother
on his return from the Mexican war and that
when she met him she clasped him just below
his knees she so small She pointed out to
us the spot where the old house stood long years
ago. Although the building has long since gone,
the cluster OF evergreen trees that surrounded it
are still standing and newer house, where most
Of the family were raised. is still In good repair.
Miss Davis herself lives on an elevated spot on
one corner of the farm. It is a beautiful place
for country residence. She pointed out to US
the spot in the woods in front of the house
where the Generals celebrated war horse,
CHARLES Morgan" is buried. This horse carried
the General through many hard fought battles
and cnce became unmanageable and carried him
far within the rebel lines We saw one of his
war horses the once famous, fast racking horse
"Skedaddie.' He WAS captured, together with his
owner, confederate colonel at the battle of
Pea Ridge by some members of the Twenty
second Indiana, JEFF. Davis old regiment.
The officer requested the General to
keep him as long as ne lived, which he promised
he would do and bought him of the government
and sent him home. He was thirty-two
years old last spring, but looks as though he
could not last much longer; but gentleman on
the farm informed me that he was full of life
yet whenever his ear caught the sound of mar
tial music.

New Toilettes at Worth's.
Lucy Hooper's Paris Letter.


There are new toilettes at Worth's which are
refreshing to contemplate by way of variety. In
particular, there is young girls ball dress, all
plain blue tulle of the most delicate and poetic
shade, that is in itself poem. The back Of the
skirt and the full short overskirt are in tule
embroidered in chaln-stitch in large fish scale
pattern. The overskirt is held down to the I'M
derskirt by rosettes of plain tulle, and only
reaches to the knee 1t is met by fiounce Of
plain tulle striped with satin. box-paited at in
tervals, and looped here and there to show mar
row plated founce in two thicknesses of tule.
No tinge of contrasting color mars the harmony
of this charming dress more elaborate
toilette has the corsage and skirt
front in white faille. The latter is
laid in fiat, narrow plaits at intervals, and is
striped lougtudinally with chains formed OF
small crystal beads, and very beautiful
and effective trimming which the great dress
maker has just commenced to employ. Across
this skirt-front is placed diagonally garland in
primroses and pale-hued lilacs. The corsage is
in white faille with the passementerie chains
passing over the shoulders, and bouquet
matching the garland on the skirt, placed at the
left side of the waist The front of the corsage
is formed of folds Of faille drawn transversely
across the bust and is fastened under the left
arm. The back of the skirt is formed of breadth
upon breadth of white tulle, finished with three
wide tucks. Both of these dresses have short
skirts, and, in fact, trains are now no longer
worn, except by married ladies ct balls or at
grand official dinners,
